<p>given that one could always edit to an empty message...seems ok :)</p>
<p>EDIT: out of curiosity, is there an edit history? (Ah, there is.)</p>

<p>Please note that our archive of Zulip likely won't notice your deletion so of it's something sensitive feel free to reach out to delete something, but ultimately once it's posted it is essentially public.</p>
